Kaden's First Christmas

To be honest, Kaden treated Christmas morning just like any other day of the year. For us adults though, it was a fun (and, might I add, beautifully warm and sunny) day. Even though no cookies or milk was left out for Santa, he managed to make it by our house anyway. Misjudging how tall Kaden is, Santa left a Fischer Price Jumperoo - his little legs don't touch the floor thus defeating the whole purpose. I'm sure Santa was thinking ahead; with the speed this little guy is growing, he'll be ready for it in no time.

Christmas morning

Pop and Kaden enjoying some play time before opening presents. Kaden gets a real kick out of Pop calling him a "kitty" and tickling his face.

Going through Kaden's stocking.

Kaden's stocking contained a two-pack of Mylicon - Santa must have been thinking of Mommy and Daddy with this gift. Kaden and Dad posing with a personalized stocking from Papa and Ba Noi and a favorite new friend, "Mylo," from his Missouri Grandparents - Aaron and Sandy Fenster.

Kaden got a TON of new books from Mom and Dad, and Gammi and Pop, and some great new toys from Aunt Vicki and Uncle Rich.

Snuggling with Gammi - Nana D's new name. We can't quite figure out what Kaden should call her. When the time comes, I bet he comes up with a name all on his own.

Gammi and Pop brough a lovely silver rattle engraved with Kaden's initials and birth date. I had one just like it when I was little and it has all kinds of little teeth marks on it. This will definitely be a keepsake.

In what is fast becoming a Christmas tradition, we had dinner with our cousins who live down the street. With Uncle Paul in Puerto Rico; Jenna, Thomas, and Boris in Cambodia; Leslie, Alex, and soon-to-be baby in Brooklyn; and the other Koshgerians in Pennsylvania/D.C./NYC, we all wished the rest of the family could have joined us. Maybe one of these years...
